T-Mobile may not have the most subscribers or widespread coverage when compared to some of the other national carriers, but what they've always been known for is great customer service. T-Mo proved that again today, as J.D. Power and Associates announced that T-Mobile was the only carrier to earn the highest ranking in their 2010 Wireless Customer Care Performance Study. The study surveyed 9,690 wireless customers that contacted customer support some time in the past six months. Congratulations, T-Mobile, on being the highest ranked carrier in "Overall Customer Care Performance." You can check out the press release below.
This news is great for T-Mobile, and when you look at T-Mobile's customer care in the past, it's unsurprising, as well. I remember an instance about a year ago where T-Mobile had some service failures that affected some unlocked, non-T-Mobile devices, most notably the iPhone. Even though T-Mo doesn't sell the iPhone, they still supported customers using the device and offered them a credit on their service. Keep up the great work, T-Mobile!
